Academic integrity

Use AI Responsibly for Homework

Scholarly is built to help you learn the material — not to do the work for you.

DO: Use AI to understand concepts and learn

AI Chat should help you learn the material

DO: Check your work before submitting

Catch mistakes and improve your answers

DON'T: Copy AI answers word-for-word

That's plagiarism and you won't learn anything

DON'T: Use AI if your teacher explicitly forbids it

Always follow your teacher's guidelines on AI use

The goal is to learn, not just complete homework. Use AI as a study tool, not a shortcut to avoid learning.

Check before you submit

Homework Checker: Review Before You Submit

Upload your completed homework and get instant feedback on accuracy and quality.

How Homework Checker Works

  • Upload your work - PDF, Word doc, or images of handwritten homework
  • AI reviews everything - checks for errors, missing steps, unclear explanations
  • Get specific feedback - what's correct, what needs improvement, suggestions
  • Revise and improve - fix issues before submitting for a better grade

Why Scholarly

Homework help that teaches, not just answers

The point of homework is to learn the material — so a help tool that hands you a final answer to copy leaves you worse off when the test arrives. Scholarly walks you through the reasoning step by step so the concept sticks.

Ask a follow-up the moment a step doesn't click. Request a simpler explanation, a fresh example, or a different approach until you genuinely understand it — then write the answer in your own words.

Because Scholarly is a full study workspace, the same question can become flashcards, a practice quiz, or a saved page you revisit before the exam — so one homework session compounds into real retention.

Keep going

All AI Tools

Browse every Scholarly study tool in one place.

Powered by AI agents

Every tool here is a purpose-built AI agent

Scholarly doesn't just call a model once. Each feature is run by an autonomous AI agent that reads your material, reasons across multiple models, and can research the web and run code — then hands back a finished, cited artifact.

Multiple models

Agents route each step to the model that does it best, instead of relying on a single one.

Live web research

When your sources aren't enough, agents search the web and cite what they find.

Runs code in a sandbox

Each agent gets its own sandbox to compute, transform data, and build your artifact.

Grounded in your sources

Every output is built from the PDFs, notes, and lectures you upload — not guesswork.

FAQ

Homework Help FAQs

Is it cheating to use AI for homework help?

Using AI to understand concepts and learn is not cheating - it's like having a tutor. However, copying AI answers word-for-word IS cheating. Always use AI to learn, then write answers in your own words. Check your school's AI policy if unsure.

Will my teacher know I used AI?

If you copy AI responses directly, yes - it's often detectable. But if you use AI to learn and then write in your own words, it's indistinguishable from doing homework after studying with a tutor or textbook. The key is understanding and writing yourself.

Can AI help with all subjects?

Yes! Scholarly Assistant can help with math, science, English, history, foreign languages, and more. From middle school to graduate level. The AI is knowledgeable across all academic subjects.

What if the AI gives me wrong answers?

Scholarly Assistant can help explain and check your work, but always verify important answers with your textbook or class materials. Think of AI as a study buddy, not an infallible source. Cross-checking is part of learning.

Is homework help really free?

Homework help is available on the free plan with 3 lifetime AI Chat messages that do not reset. Premium unlocks unlimited chat, faster responses, and advanced features.
